@randyfoye doing it right with his intro of his former coach. That had to make @VUCoachJWright more proud than the award itself. #CatholicHoops #NovaNation https://t.co/McSNdNwYZA

Appreciate all your kind words of support about last night. But all the gratitude and love should go to @VUCoachJWright @NovaMBB & @VillanovaU. Proud to be part of #NovaNation.

Outside 1985, the only time two #Catholic schools played for the NCAA title was in 1955, when @USFDonsMBB defeated @LaSalleMBB. #CatholicHoops https://t.co/oiK1NeqY09

@DavidHaugh in @ChiTribSports: "I expected none of this and will remember all of it. It affected me...I admit getting caught up in the Loyola story, the exception to the rule, like so many people across Chicago and the entire country did." #CatholicHoops https://t.co/6PCPtbViXt

@NovaMBB is going for its second national title in three years. Prior to 2016, the last #Catholic school to win a title was Nova in 1985. The only Catholic school to win back to back titles was @USFDonsMBB in 1955 and 1956. #MarchMadness

In the biggest week of Porter Moser's career, @MattNorlander lets us know that it's still not about him. It's about the team. It's about being #humble and helping others. https://t.co/6pDrV9PQFN #NoFinishLine #MenForOthers #FinalFour @RamblersMBB

Grateful to have had the chance to work for @GTJoshPastner and excited about what the future holds for @GTMBB ... The team is filled with a remarkable group of young men and I would not have had this opportunity if it weren’t for them. #TogetherWeSwarm 🐝🐝🐝 https://t.co/NfeHIc0wcu
